Christmas and Hogmanay

Get into the festive spirit at Fish Shop Ballater. From groups and parties with our seasonal set menus to a celebratory seafood bonanza on Christmas Eve, lazy lunches when you’re stuffed with turkey and fed up with cooking, or a pitstop post a big winter hike in the Cairngorms. There’s always a moment to celebrate before we close in January.

Group dining

Our boat table is the perfect spot for a festive lunch or dinner with a tale to tell. Seating up to 12 it is ideal for groups of friends, family get togethers or even a team Christmas lunch in Ballater. Executive chef Marcus has curated an indulgent celebratory set menu to feast on with optional wine pairings to really push the boat out!

Available for groups of 8+ between 1st and 31st December.
